If you want an AI to make human like mistakes, you have to have at least a roughly human cognitive model. The simplest way to do this, it seems to me, is to give the AI competing goals. Rather than just have the AI "try to win", and then cripple its ability to do that effectively, you could give it multiple goals to strive toward, and then give it some degree of randomness in which goal it chooses to pursue. Victory vs. pain-avoidance, attack vs. finding time to recover, etc.
